Iron Marines

Iron Marines is a real-time strategy game set across unknown planets. You command soldiers, mechas and aliens through dangerous missions, adapting your tactics and troop roles during combat. Recruit and train heroes, use their abilities, and deploy weapons and support to take on enemy forces.

Campaign and operations

The campaign has 21 missions across three worlds. Objectives include launching attacks, holding positions, rescuing civilians and hacking supercomputers; each mission calls for different tactics. You can also take on 21 Special Operations, each with its own combat rules, or unlock Impossible Mode. The game includes massive bosses and three difficulty modes: Casual, Normal and Veteran.

Troops and weapons

You can change troop roles in the middle of combat, including switching rangers to snipers and flamethrowers to missile launchers. More than 40 upgrades improve your strategy and strengthen units with options such as defense drones, napalm rockets and ricocheting blasts. Fourteen heroes have their own powers, and eight special weapons include missile strikes, intelligent mines, support troops and turrets.

Additional challenges

Iron Marines includes more than 70 achievements and dozens of interactive easter eggs. The PC version also adds new commands, a fully unlocked Hero room and a new targeting system.
